Maybe Will Rogers was right when he said "I don't belong to any organized political party, I'm a Democrat."

His popularity is dwindling. As with all politicians...once elected... they work on their NEXT campaign. The Hispanic population in the US continues to grow...

I am not sure what you are saying. I also am confused what health care legislation has to do with the Hispanic population. ????????

My guess is free healthcare would benefit illegals greatly. Hell it would benefit anyone with no healthcare more IMO then those of us who all ready have it.

Thanks Grumpy...you got it!
What chance do you think legalizing illegals without health care would have?

The health care issue IS seemingly more important to the Obama Administration than the economy or unemployment issues. One has to ask why? I feel it ties in with the illegal immigration problem. Get everyone covered...and the next step ( legalizing the illegals) is less questionable by the American people. The medicaid system is over burdened.

Did you not see the news about Hispanics pressuring Obama to follow through with campaign promises? He got 67% of the Hispanic vote versus 31%. There is always a reason why an item makes top of the list importance. I say insured the uninsured and let those of us who pay for what we want alone.

Scenario...I'm having a dinner party tonight and invited twelve people. An invited friend calls and has four unexpected out of town guests arrive and asks if its ok to bring them along. I say yes. My dilema is to provide for four extra dinners. I simply cut the meat a little thinner and the other serving portions smaller. They all eat...but some are not used to getting what they had always gotten.

Thanks I understand your point now.
